Silent Runner Apr 2023 12:51pm, 14 Apr 2023 931 posts	0 Silent Runner Not really a product description, but it seemed appropriate for here. From a description of gamma ray bursts on Facebook: GRBs can last upto ten milliseconds (or even several hours). So, up to several hours then?

PK Apr 2023 3:53pm, 14 Apr 2023 1,253 posts	0 PK on a similar note, companies saying 'it'll be issued in 5-7 working days' (or similar) No, that's wrong. You're implying that if it's ready before 5 working days, you'll hold on to it. Just lazy wording, that's all.
